Revelation

Every Friday my friends and I go to Ihop (International House of Prayer) to worship and just fellowship with each other. Well, a few weeks ago I was stressing over stuff. I was just asking God to make me a leader. I so worried that I wouldn't be a leader and I would be a follower I was also just worrying about what I am going to do with College and my future. So he spoke to me and gave me a couple verses.  
 Matthew 6:33-34

33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Jeremiah 1:17-19 
17 “Get yourself ready! Stand up and say to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified by them, or I will terrify you before them. 18 Today I have made you a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the people of the land. 19 They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD.


Matthew 6:25-26
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[c]?

Jeremiah 1:17-19 My revelation of that is, quit worrying about it, if I want to be a leader then get up and do it, quit hoping for it and make it happen, God won't deny me of being a leader, that's what he wants us to be. God want's us to stop hearing and start listening. He wants us to be doers. Not couch potato Christians. This Generation consists of two extremes. One of which I will be in, the over the edge, crazy, undignified, (In the eyes of the world) love sick, ready to die for Christ, radical, Christian. It's time to start pursuing Christ like he has been pursuing us since the beginning of time.

Getting to know me, If that's Not Too Boring.

This blog is about the two extremes that rule our spiritual society, and my walk with Jesus Christ, or I guess you could call it my relationship with him. One of the few things I am certain of is, God is real, he is the reason for existing and the love of my life. Whether people agree with this or not, it doesn't matter. I am not making a blog for arguments sake, this is for me to explain my feelings and my walk, not to shove my revelation down someone’s throat, I do not believe in that. My revelation is for me and I can only hope that others will receive that revelation in their own personal way as well.


I am sixteen, I live in FL and I definitely love it here! I have lived here all my life, the only complaint I have is the fact that I don't live close enough to the beach. I have been Homeschooled since 1st grade. No, I am not one of those socially awkward ones that everyone assumes we are like, haha. I think I am pretty normal for the most part. I come from a musical family, everyone in my family sings or plays an instrument. I play guitar (Poorly) and sing. My mom has an incredible voice and she also plays the piano, my dad plays guitar very well and he sings. My brother plays just about everything, guitar (Acoustic and electric), drums, bass, and now teaching himself to play the piano he also sings, he's pretty much a lady killer. Haha. Both my sisters sing. I am the youngest out of all my siblings. Yep, my whole family is in love with Jesus, that's got to be the thing I am most thankful for, being born into a christian Jesus loving family. That's about it for now.
